This module aims to provide students with an understanding of the appropriate uses of AI technology in an academic setting. As AI becomes increasingly prevalent, it is essential to highlight both the advantages and limitations of these tools. Students will work in pairs to choose from 13 provided prompts, each relating to cellular and molecular biology (these can be modified for the needs of the instructor/course). The prompts will include guiding questions to direct their exploration. Students will use these topics to collect information from ChatGPT, verify its accuracy through peer reviewed articles, and create a 5-10 minute presentation. This emphasizes to the students the opportunity to familiarize themselves with a new topic using ChatGPT, and once they have an understanding of the subject, they will be able to expose themselves to peer reviewed research that may be more challenging to read and understand. Students will be provided with an initial introduction to the project expectations and how to navigate the ChatGPT website. In the end, students should gain an understanding of how to use the ChatGPT website, form an understanding of the uses and limitations of ChatGPT compared to peer reviewed papers, and be able to create a visually pleasing and informative presentation to educate their peers on the selected topic.
